Tor VPN Beta brings isolated app-by-app Tor routing to Android

The Tor Project has launched Tor VPN Beta for Android, allowing mobile applications to route traffic through the Tor network, expanding beyond web browsing. This development was driven by user demand for privacy tools to bypass internet censorship, particularly in restrictive regions. The concept originated in 2021, and after initial testing and user feedback, the beta was announced on September 9. Tor VPN creates a separate Tor circuit for each application, enhancing privacy by complicating activity correlation across apps. Users can select which applications use Tor, and the interface has been improved for easier management. The beta version 1.4.0 includes support for WebTunnel bridges to disguise Tor connections as standard encrypted traffic. Usability testing revealed issues with exit-node selection, leading to a design change that requires users to connect to Tor before choosing an exit. Tor VPN is built on the Arti implementation of the Tor protocol and the Onionmasq networking layer, ensuring stability and component sharing. The software supports reproducible builds and is available via F-Droid and APK downloads. A security review in June 2025 found no major flaws but identified some issues being addressed. Tor VPN is currently in beta and focuses on enhancing circumvention capabilities and usability rather than competing with commercial VPNs on speed. Users in censored areas are advised to configure bridges for access.
